Bad Til U Buck Riddim – Jam House Records

A taut, digi-stepped dancehall groove anchors Bad Til U Buck Riddim, with a sharp little bounce that leaves room for the vocalists to cut clean through the beat. Jam House Records kept the lineup lean here: Rayted opens with “Forward, ” Beenie Man’s title cut brings the veteran touch, Noah Powa leans into the cheeky “Twerk It, ” and Silver Cat closes with “Wah U Got On. ” The release runs as a four-track set, so there’s no clutter, no extended detours, just each tune lined up back-to-back over the same 2013 riddim. Beenie Man is the biggest name on the project, but the compact sequence makes every voice count. Bad Til U Buck Riddim was produced by Jam House Records in 2013.
